Fox News
NSC official John Kirby reacted after Jeff Bezos accused the White House of "misdirection or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics" when it comes to inflation.
"Anybody who knows President Biden knows he’s plainspoken. And he tells you exactly what he’s thinking and in terms that everybody can understand," Kirby said. "So I think we obviously take great exception at the idea that this is somehow misdirection."
After Biden tweeted Saturday that those setting the prices at gas stations need to lower them at "a time of war and global peril" to be more in line with their own costs, Bezos retweeted while criticizing the White House.
